Baby is the word!

This was Sunday morning, the 27th of July. We called Tita and Gramps over in Costa Rica the good news! (Hence your dad's face with the phone) Before this moment, we were just informed the Tita's brother-in-law Ricardo had passed away that morning. (Rest in peace Ricardo).

This lead into a bunch of your Costa Rican family finding out about you..... before both sets of grandparents..... So the next day your dad told me that (she likes Nanna right now) Magda was calling Tita. Well, we didn't want her to find out through another family member in CR. I called Tita (she was on the other line with Magda) and told her to tell family members that Magda didn't know yet. That made me start feeling bad that we had to keep it a secret from a grandparent when other people that I've met a couple of times knew before her. (Very awesome cousins you'll meet one day too!) The reason why both sets of Grandparents didn't know yet is because they were both out of town before we truly knew your were coming (the ultrasound). It's not fun over the phone (besides great grandparents in a different country lol).

So when your dad came home, we decided that everyone needed to know now. We drove over to Magda's house, she wasn't there. Almost drove to Phillip's work, he was too busy to come outside. I called my dad on the way to his house, he wouldn't be home for another 2 hours..... So then I thought we can go to Ty's house....he was picking up Jamie and would be there soon. AHHH!!! Lol. we wanted to tell everyone and no one was home! I wanted to tell my mom and dad at the same time, so that's why we didn't stop off at their house.

We wait in front of Ty and Jamie's place and they finally get there. I hear my Tiny (Katie) run up to the car and get a big hug :) As we start walking to the back yard, Jamie says she has to go to the bank. To myself, "NOOOOOO! I'm tired of waiting!" I follow Jamie, turn the camera on, and take my video!

FINALLY! Someone else knows!!! So then she got out of her car and had to watch Ty's reaction. Let's just say, he was caught off guard because he was changing his shirt. His last picture is showing you what Mommy will look like later on.

We went out back and then I told Tiny I couldn't jump on her trampoline because I was pregnant! She didn't know how to take it, but she was at my side all night after that :)
                                       
So Ty and your dad went to go fly his huge kite and they both took tumbles. Jamie went out and got some sparkling white grape juice, yum!, and then we went over to my parent's house!

Before we left to tell more people about you, we needed a cool way to tell my mom and dad. Ty came up with an idea that he show them a new knife he got and then I say I got something cooler! Then show them the picture of the ultrasound! Alas, Justin was there for this moment, but he wasn't on camera. My mom however thought it was weird that Jamie had her phone and my camera pointed at them. Ty came up with a quick cover story that Jamie got this new video thing and she hasn't been able to put it down and she was comparing the video quality. And then we got Natallia and Jax to come out and we got her with the check out the photo on my phone, tee hee!

Dad looked at me and then my belly a couple of times before it hit him. It made me cry :)

Mom's confused face in the beginning about the cameras. I handed her the photo.  

It hit Natallia immediately when she saw the photo.

We then got some pizza to celebrated you, it was very tasty by the way! Then I found out later that Justin received a certification for family nutritionist thing from taking classes. That was a very proud moment as well! 

After a wonderful and delicious dinner, it was off to go tell Magda. She was home this time too. My plan was to put your picture in a pair of shoes I borrowed from her and then inform her I got a stain on them. She would have to look at the shoe and BAM!, see the photo. It worked out pretty well!

She was running a fever and after she realized I was pregnant, she told me to get away from her. I wasn't that close, and a week later, I haven't gotten sick. (knock on wood). She is very very very very very very exited to be a grandma! We went up to Phillip's work to try again, but he was really busy to come out and say hi, so Magda got to tell him about you. He is also really excited!

He knew something was up because your dad and I had both called him on separate occasions to see if he could talk. But he was very excited to see that picture of you on their fridge. 

On the way home after Magda's house, texting and phone calls were made so that people found out about you!! That got me going and pumped me and anyone I told up. The ones who got texts got something like, Hey? can I get a picture of your face after finding out that I'm pregnant? Here are some pictures!
